Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

As usual, I file it as a new bug as I am not a developper and wouldn't make the difference.

I don't know if it is related, but when the screensaver starts, I cannot get the popup to enter the password and get my system back. All I get is a flickering screen and my only option is a Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

I have a french keyboard (Generic PC 105 keyks intl - France alternative)

Latest intrepid ibex 2.6.27-7-generic
Nvidia 8600 GTS (drivers 177) with compiz activated on a dual screen.

Thanks guys
